vent art,
will probably delete
having a real Time (tm)
a loose, sketchy illustration in all purple with a grainy texture of a woman with animal like drooping ears and an exhausted expression with large bags under her eyes and a dotted line like a stitch around her throat; she looks harangued; handwritten on the image reads “It’s fine. I’m just tired…” with the text for tired trailing off the screen. The artist is very tired.

A spot of tea in the fey kingdom,
to gossip with the mycelium

(Prompt 3 of Drawtober and I was late on this one because I’m really sick, which makes me very sad because I worked very hard)

#Drawtober #Drawtober2025 #DrawtoberMushroomFairy
an illustration of a black cat with an unnatural eerie soft glow to its fur, it is standing in a deep, floral thicket surrounded by large gnarled trees, tall plants and vaguely glowing mushrooms and it is being served a cup of tea from a fairy in a spotted mushroom themed dress pouring a glowing liquid from a teapot into a teacup; the image says the text “A spot of tea in the fey kingdom, to gossip with the mycelium”

On a moonless night, the procession occurs punctuated by the sounds of purrs.

It’s day 30 of #Swordtember and just as with the end to many things, winter is upon us. Still, think of less as an ending and more a time of stillness (because you have been tragically stilled by this frozen blade, putting an end to your (and my) Swordtembers)

#Swordtember2025 #SwordtemberWinter
an illustration of a large, pointed blade with ornate metal filigree on top meant to loosely resemble the limbs of a snowflake; the pommel is a stylized crescent moon, and the hilt is a large, winding tree branch covered in ice and snow; the whole image is a purple and blue metallic colour scheme; there is a glowing blue gem in the hilt and at the base of the sword is a lightly glowing crescent moon

It’s day 27 of #Swordtember and do I detect a little spring in your step as we reach the tail end of this challenge? Use that extra vigor to cut down your opponents!

It’s day 26 of #Swordtember and I’m sorry to keep harping on about swords, but we’re almost done!

Loosely inspired by the harpe blade from greek mythology but no one seems to agree on what those actually looked like 🫠 Maybe it’s like this! (It’s not!)

It’s day 25 of #Swordtember of tensions are rapidly bubbling to the surface

Happy #Hades2 release day to all who celebrate!! I can’t play for a few months (desperately avoiding spoilers) but I CAN post this art from June! A 12hr labour of love collab with @canadianimator.bsky.social of our DM’s character in Hades style for his birthday. Loved working on this #HadesGame

Hmmm, if a woman in a body of water gives you a swan-themed sword for day 22 of #Swordtember is that a two-for-one in the classic fairytales department? 🤔
